Waiting for the Moon to Rise Lyrics
All the way back home
I'm telling you I caught the sun
Creeping up behind my shoulder
Another day's begun
I was following a trail
I'd never been along before
Chasing darkened skies above me
Looking like the spring
Like the winter
And the morning
If there's a place I want to go
Then I'll be there with you
Because in my dreams, the things I'm wishing for
Keep coming true
Now a new day comes
Clears the darkness out of sight
And the shadows that were sleeping
Come and dance beneath the light
And I'm trying hard to hide
Keep the sun out of my eyes
Close them tight and now I'm waiting
For the moon to rise
Don't try to say to me
That this was never meant to be
Because the days are long where I come from
The next few days I'm free
There's a train I want to catch
But it won't leave here for a while
Until darkness fills the eastern sky
And streetlights stretch for miles
Through the spring
And the winter
And the morning
I'm telling you I caught the sun
Creeping up behind my shoulder
Another day's begun
I was following a trail
I'd never been along before
Chasing darkened skies above me
Looking like the spring
Like the winter
And the morning
Then I'll be there with you
Because in my dreams, the things I'm wishing for
Keep coming true
Clears the darkness out of sight
And the shadows that were sleeping
Come and dance beneath the light
And I'm trying hard to hide
Keep the sun out of my eyes
Close them tight and now I'm waiting
For the moon to rise
That this was never meant to be
Because the days are long where I come from
The next few days I'm free
There's a train I want to catch
But it won't leave here for a while
Until darkness fills the eastern sky
And streetlights stretch for miles
Through the spring
And the winter
And the morning
